My sympathy to all of you kids, Joe, Michael, Jennifer, Jamie and Jason. Your uncle Bob and I spent time with all of you when you were young and sadly lost touch as got older. We thought about you and talked about you often.Your dad at one time worked with Bob at Deeres on the same machine, Bob days and Tom nights. I don’t know if you remember spending time at our house but we enjoyed having you. Love, Aunt Nancy
Thinking of you & your family. In deepest sympathy

I was saddened to hear of Tom’s passing. Knew him from my days in Lawler and can still hear that great laugh of his. My sympathies to his kids and grandkids.
To Tom’s family, You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I, Sandy, was a classmate of Tom’s at Wapsie Valley High School. When we had to sit in alphabetical order, he always ended up in front of me. He was always joking about stuff. Lots of laughs.
